Embarrassing Tennis Memory: “To play Davis Cup for the first time I think I was really nervous. (How did you do?) I played doubles (lost with Corretja), it was in the final against Australia. (Spain lost 3-1 in Melbourne in 2003).”

Apparently Feli's girlfriend is one month pregnant! Here is a rough translation of the article:

Quote:

The former Miss Spain Maria Jose Suarez and tennis player Feliciano Lopez are going to be parents.This was announced on Tuesday Pepa Jiménez in the program 'Tal cual lo contamos’ on Antena 3.

The journalist was live last week as María José went to the hospital accompanied by a friend and emerged minutes later, made a telephone call, according Pepa Jiménez, informed the caller that she was four weeks pregnant.

Feliciano, who is in Barcelona to participate in Conde Godo tournament, was besieged by reporters who wanted to congratulate him and ask him some questions about the pregnancy. His negative reaction was not expected, and the athlete was bothered by reporters.

Jiménez commented on the subject and made public his suspicions that something is wrong in the relationship between the tennis player and model. "Whenever I called, someone always answers the phone, but yesterday it was inoperative and they did not respond to messages."

Pepa raised in the program some reasons that might have caused the reaction of Feliciano, among which is the possibility that Maria Jose Suarez has not informed her partner about who is the father of her child.

3) He may have said to some acquaintances: "I'm not going to be a dad".

4) According to a Portuguese magazine, María José may have had 'secret datings' with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in the last months. Feli was said to have an affair with Cristiano's exgirlfriend Marisa Sandoval at the end of 2009. María José taking revenge?
